Optical Coherence Tomography Market Drivers, Challenges and Trends: –

Optical Coherence Tomography Market Driver: – the growing acquisition of small hospitals has helped increase wound care, which has indirectly impacted the growth of the peripheral vascular diagnostic market positively. Tier-1 hospitals acquire small specialized hospitals, which helps to train the healthcare staffs, including the physicians and nurses. As small hospitals get acquired by larger ones, it helps meet patient needs by providing a range of patient monitoring equipment. Owing to the brand name of large hospitals, many people opt to receive healthcare services from them, which increases the need of patient monitoring equipment. Hence, to provide better care at lesser time, these hospitals purchase more equipment in bulk.

Optical Coherence Tomography Market Challenge: – optical imaging systems are low-cost instruments, but the investment involved in laboratories setup and additional renovation cost of medical facilities acts as a constraint for market growth. Countries such as Mexico and South Africa where hospital infrastructure is in the developmental stage require huge investment to setup imaging modalities. The healthcare sector is now focusing on integrated operating rooms, which also referred as hybrid operating rooms, for efficient diagnosis process. The average cost of setting up hybrid operating rooms with optical imaging and other medical imaging systems is about $3-5 million. The setting up of optical imaging systems is not enough for medical facilities as the healthcare sector is undergoing a transition. These optical imaging systems find huge application in the cancer screening process. Investments in cancer hospitals and screening centers are higher owing to the sensitivity of the procedure and the installation cost of medical imaging.

Optical Coherence Tomography Market trend: – For people suffering from retinopathy, there can be damage in blood vessels in the retina. Owing to the blocked blood vessels or hemorrhage, people can suffer from distorted vision. Doppler OCT, which is under development, can help develop cross-sectional images of the retina and evaluate and highlight the vessels where the flow is present and find out the abnormality (blocked or leaked blood vessel). It can also help differentiate between age-related macular degeneration, central serous chorioretinopathy, and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy. At present, Thorlabs is developing a 3-D Doppler OCT, which is under development. Doppler OCT will open new frontier in diagnosis, which will boost the market growth
